I can vouch for the folks at CatLABS. I needed parts to convert an early CPP to cog drive and advice on my JOBO lift. Parts were reasonable and the advice freely given

Hi John,

Yup the same south county Jack. I take it that you do not have the knob that I'm referring to..? This thing is the size of a large pocket watch. The former owner didn't know how if...

I'm puzzled by how the tripod mount is supposed to work. The mount is composed of two flat aluminum rectangles. The upper piece rides in two grooves in the bed and lower contacts the tripod head....

I did check mine and the notches at two adjacent corners are 1/8". There are no other notches on mine. The board is 5 " square and about 3/32" thick and it has the two notches cut in from the...

I have one of those.. I'll check the lens board that I have.

I've seen film pack holders used as a quick and dirty ground glass holder.. Just tape in a piece of frosted glass of the appropriate size.....Pretty handy for a Graflex that doesn't have one on the...

I think your approach is ingenious and applicable to a lot of the older view camers that are light and pretty it use but limited in movements. Well done! Thanks for passing the idea on. And, I...

Hi ricody,
In my original reply to your request for help I miss-spoke (typed). I'm not using Vuescan, I'm using Magicscan 4.3. downloded from the the Umax site...

I've occasionally used clip-on magnifiers that attach to a pair of reading glasses to view the ground glass on a view camera . I wonder if you could clip or otherwise attach a pair inside the...

You could contact Ken Ruth at Photography on Bald Mountain (http://www.baldmtn.com/) He claimed that he could replace a shutter curtain on my Home Portrait Graflex. I haven't gotten around to...

Bruce, Nick,
Thanks, I've been to the JOBO site a number of times. My tanks don't look like the 2500 or the 2800 series. There are no markings on them, and the tops are different. Perhaps...

I'm new to JOBO drum processors and the info that came w/ a recently aquired used CPP2 is rather scant. The purchase included several smaller tanks and reels that apparently are marked for 35 and...

From Vick's description of a Baco, it sounds like cameras marketed as Nue View or Brand View. Wrinkle finish in sort of cafe au lait brown for the former and black for the latter. The...

I had a 5x7 B&J such as yours and liked it so much that after I traded it off for something else I missed it enough to go and find another, which I still have. It's one of the scratched up ones. In...
